Unfortunately, I have obstructive and central apnea.

Central means that, basically, your brain “forgets” to breath.

Scary crap.

Yes but yet everyone says they want to die in their sleep. Yet they get a contraption that forces you to ensure you won’t. Doesn’t make sense. So you die from some deadly cancer instead. Nobody said humans were smart.

Same here. Had it since I was a kid. Doctors freak out when they see my breathing drop below 12 BPM on their tests. My wife says she doesn't worry as long as I snore every few minutes.

I do too. The doctor told me that I developed the CSA because of many years of using CPAP for obstructive.
